Re: Project MAN!!
 

G'Day tracy,

Yeah, all the detail bits to do yet, The right hand dash has got me thinking, But, I'll come up with something, I'm sure :confused:

Re: Project MAN!!

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the pic's, gives me an idea what I'm looking at for a BB, didn't think of making the whole front panel into one, I was gonna cut the bottom part off and go from there, this helps a lot.

Thanks again,
Paul

Not sure where to go from here, but, I'll work it out...:confused:

Paul

Re: Project MAN!!
 

I have spent all day on this and, Unfortunately, it seems that I don't have the tools, Know-how or the skills to complete the project, So, It will stay as a "City Truck" as Tim calls it....Lol!!

Re: Project MAN!!
 

Now Tim has finished mine be has PLENTY of room on the BB bench
1800-BB-TIMMY LOL:D:p:D

Cheers Tracy

Re: Project MAN!!
 

I like where this is going Paul, especially with all of the aussie touches you are giving it like the front bumper/brushguard. Are you going to replicate the square fuel tanks as well?

-Alex

Re: Project MAN!!
 

Thanks Alex,

Not sure about the Fuel Tanks just yet, Still trying to work out the Bull Bar, I have spent another day today fiddling with it and I think I got it worked out :rolleyes:

Paul

Re: Project MAN!!
 

I think I got it worked out now!!
